Chapter 119 Do You Want to See Susu?
After someone said this, the people behind him also stopped and the crowd became very excited.

Ogawa said in embarrassment: “This…”

Ye Jiayao said: "It's okay, it's okay."

Ah Xing brought the mooncakes, and Ye Jiayao said, "Take this eunuch out through the back door."

Grandpa Ogawa cooperated and followed Ah Xing.

Manager Qian heard the noise upstairs and ran down: "What's going on? There's going to be a rebellion outside!"

Ye Jiayao strode out and stood at the door: "What are you mumbling about?"

"We agreed to queue up to buy and limit the quantity, but you guys opened the back door." Someone muttered indignantly.

Everyone agreed.

"That's right. It doesn't make sense."

"Doing business without credibility."

Ye Jiayao said: "I'm from the palace, so what? Do you have any objections?"

With just one word, the crowd became quiet.

Who the hell dares to compete with the palace? Even their master doesn't have the guts.

Manager Qian was startled, and walked into the restaurant and asked in a low voice, "Is he really from the palace?"

Ye Jiayao said: "It's from the Prince's Mansion."

Manager Qian chuckled: "Of course, of course."

After selling the mooncakes, Ye Jiayao asked Deng Haichuan to run an errand and deliver mooncakes to the Helian Palace and the Yong'an Marquis Palace. Deng Haichuan went happily.

Not long after he left, Deng Haichuan came back, panting: "Brother Yao, damn, there was a guy from Xiangyilou among the people who came to buy mooncakes just now. I saw him carrying an ice jar and entering Xiangyilou. I was curious, so I followed him in to see for myself. I saw him handing the mooncakes to Chef Niu's pastry maker."

Cui Dongpeng was stunned: "They want to learn our craft."

Ye Jiayao raised her hand calmly: "It's normal. There may be more than just Xiangyilou who are eyeing our mooncakes. It doesn't matter. Let them learn as long as they have the ability."

Zhong Xiang said: "It's useless even if they buy all the mooncakes for research. No one has ever used the materials we use. Do they know how to make agar?"

Wang Mingde said slowly: "That's not necessarily true. Don't forget, we have..."

Everyone kept silent, knowing what was going on. Over the past two days, everyone appeared to be acting normal, but they were all secretly keeping an eye on the situation.

Indeed, everyone in the kitchen participated in the extraction of agar and cream. They knew what materials to use and how to operate them. However, only Ye Jiayao herself knew the last and most critical step, the making of ice cream. I believe that people of this era do not have such extraordinary imagination.

"Don't worry. Even if they learn it, I can release new products." Ye Jiayao said confidently.

Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.

The past two days have been filled with gloom and sadness at Minister Mu's residence, and it is not a pleasant feeling to be at the center of the storm.

The most annoyed one was Minister Mu. He had worked hard for more than ten years and had the hope of being promoted this year, but now it seemed there was no hope.

"Send a letter to Jinan and ask them to send someone to handle it. I have no other options."

Minister Mu stopped going to the Ministry of Works and went home claiming to be sick. He really couldn't stand everyone's strange looks, but he was not that shameless.

Qi said, "I have already sent letters to Jinan and Yangzhou. The problem now lies with Jinrong, and Liujiang has been implicated. If it really comes to the last resort, I can only divorce my wife."

"You should never, ever, agree to bring Jinrong to Prince Helian's Mansion. You dote on Liujiang too much. You agree to whatever he says." Minister Mu complained.

"How could I have imagined this would turn out? They said everything had been handled properly and there would be no problem, but in the end, complications still arose." Qi said aggrievedly.

"Is it a big deal if you can think of it?" Our Mu family's reputation has been ruined." Minister Mu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and his tone became heavier.

"Why are you yelling at me? Will yelling at me help? I don't want this to happen." Qi wiped away her tears.

Seeing his wife like this, Minister Mu couldn't get angry and could only sigh and lament that he had been unlucky this year.

"In my opinion, Liu Jiang is right. Li must have been hidden by the people in the palace." Qi was trying to excuse her nephew.

Minister Mu could not help but get angry again: "Women's opinions, the palace has no grudges against us, Liu Jiang has only been in Nanjing for a few days? Is it necessary for the palace to deliberately bring Li out to deal with him?"

Qi hesitated and said, "Master, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Minister Mu said unhappily, "It's already this time, is there anything you can't say?"

"This morning, Qin Chu quietly told me that he and Liu Jiang had accidentally offended Xia Chunyu, the son of Marquis Jing'an, and even the young prince of Helian Mansion disliked them. Master, the more I think about it, the more I think there is something wrong here!"

"Maybe meeting Li was an accident, but Li's disappearance was a setback."

Minister Mu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Go and call the Third Young Master and the Biao Young Master."

After a while, Mu Qinchu and Wei Liujiang arrived.

"I have met my father and mother."

"Meet my uncle and aunt."

They both saluted.

"Qin Chu, when did you offend the son of the Marquis of Jing'an? Why?" Minister Mu asked. As long as the crux of the problem was found, it would be easy to deal with. He should apologize and just ask for peace. Mu Qinchu told the details of how he accidentally offended Li Yao, the chef of Tianshangju, and how the son of the Marquis of Jing'an came forward and blackmailed him for a thousand kilograms of ice tickets.

Wei Liujiang added: "After destroying the Black Wind Hill, the Marquis of Jing'an came to my house and asked about Miss Ye. My father asked him and he said that Miss Ye had died in the melee. I wonder if this matter is related to this incident."

The incident had become so serious that Wei Liujiang himself was panicking. The imperial examination was approaching, and if he could not quell the rumors, his future would be ruined.

"If you ask me, it must be the son of Marquis Jing'an who is behind this." Qi said with certainty.

Minister Mu considered the problem more comprehensively. He glanced at her and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. We have already offended the Helian Palace. If we offend the Jing'an Marquis's Palace, then we can forget about staying in Jinling."

"Then what do you say we should do, sir? We can't make it any further now!" Qi was anxious.

Minister Mu pondered and said, "For now, we can only wait for the Ye family to come and see if they can prove that Jin Rong is Miss Ye. As long as we make this matter clear, there is nothing else to worry about. We can say that Li ran away because she was afraid that her lies would be exposed. As for the Helian Palace, I can go there in person to apologize."

Qi sighed, "It can only be done this way. No matter what, my sister and brother-in-law shouldn't have concealed the fact that Jinrong married in a surrogate marriage. They should have just said that the eldest daughter was abducted by bandits. What's the big deal? But they had to cover it up for the sake of face. Now, one lie has to be covered up with countless lies, and I don't know if it can be covered up."

Wei Liujiang was sweating profusely. There were some inside stories that even his father didn't know!

Ye Jiayao prepared dinner and was ready to go home. She had to leave early today, otherwise she would not be able to leave once Xiaojing came.

Unexpectedly, Helian Jing had arrived earlier and was sitting in Shopkeeper Li's room drinking tea without telling Ye Jiayao.

"Brother Yao, the boss asked you to go to his place after you finish your work." Ah Xing came to report.

Ye Jiayao thought the shopkeeper wanted to settle accounts with her, so she went there excitedly. When she entered the room, she saw Xiao Jing sitting there.

Ye Jiayao was stunned: "Xiao Jing, when did you come?"

Helian Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You came early and drank a pot of tea."

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said, "Li Yao, is it time to call it a day?"

"Ah, almost there."

Helian Jing stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a good place."

"What good place? I still have work to do when I get back!"

"It won't take much time. Let's go, Manager Li. See you later!" Helian Jing pulled Ye Jiayao downstairs without saying anything.

Ye Jiayao didn’t know what to say, Chunyu was still waiting for her at the back door!
He wanted to ask someone to take a message to Chunyu, but he couldn't find any trustworthy guy to deliver the message, so Xiaojing pulled him out of Tianshangju while he was hesitating.

"Come on, get in the carriage. You said you didn't like riding horses, so I specially called a carriage over."

"Where are we going?" Ye Jiayao asked anxiously.

"You'll know when you get there." Helian Jing winked and kept the secret.

"I hate it when you do this. I won't go unless you tell me to." Ye Jiayao said with a stern face.

Helian Jing smiled and asked, "Do you want to know what Zhao Qixuan's Su Su looks like?"

Ye Jiayao immediately became interested: "He's back?"

"Yes, isn't his mother's birthday coming up in a few days? He came back secretly, but he still couldn't escape Zhao Qixuan's spies. Zhao Qixuan came to see me today, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. Su Su has been gone for three years, and there has been no news at all. Poor old Zhao, he's been missing her for so long."

Ye Jiayao laughed out loud without any sympathy: "So what is he going to do?"

She had completely forgotten that Chunyu was still at the back door. This Su Su was just too attractive.

The legendary most handsome man in Jinling, he looks like Pan An! She thinks Chunyu is already very handsome, and the two brothers of the Helian family are not bad either, so how handsome can that Su Su be? Zhao Qixuan can't forget him.

I’m really curious!
"He has an appointment to talk to Susu tonight, right under the White Pagoda Temple, where they first met. Let's go over there and lurk to hear what they say." Helian Jing danced with joy like a little kid.

"Okay, okay! What are you waiting for? Let's go..." Ye Jiayao was more anxious than Xiao Jing.

The carriage stopped before reaching the White Pagoda Temple.

"Let's go around from that side and walk. Zhao Qixuan must have arrived long ago." Helian Jing said.

He told the driver to drive the carriage to an inconspicuous place and hide it.

Taking advantage of the night, the two crouched down, and carefully moved to the vicinity of the White Pagoda Temple, hiding under a clump of bushes.

Sure enough, I saw Zhao Qixuan walking around restlessly with a fan in his hand, stopping from time to time to look around.

"What time did they agree to meet?" Ye Jiayao asked in a low voice.

"It's said to be the hour of midnight, so it should be here soon."

After waiting for a while, Helian Jing suddenly said, "There is the sound of a carriage. It is coming."

Ye Jiayao listened carefully and heard the rhythmic creaking sound of a carriage rolling over the bluestone road.

A carriage slowly came into view.

Ye Jiayao held her breath, her heart beat faster, she was so excited!
This pair of most famous gay friends in Jinling met again after three years of separation.
